| ASHA Watch: Promoting Diversity In ASHA |
Thanks to a generous donor, ASHA Watch is happy to announce its 2012 diversity scholarship awards. The purpose of these awards is to promote diversity in ASHA by encouraging participation in ASHA by members of multi-cultural groups that are currently severely underrepresented in ASHA and may be experiencing marginalization and demonization by ASHA. Two scholarship awards will be given and each is worth $250:
The first award is open to all male applicants who are registered Republicans and who are card-carrying members of at least one other conservative organization (example: the National Rifle Association, a right-to-life group, etc.). If the applicant can give documented proof of heterosexual marriage (as if there were any other kind), we will throw in an additional $25 award. If the applicant can provide documentation of one of the following, we'll throw in another $25: being a member in good standing of a conservative, bible-believing church, orthodox or conservative synagogue, or being a Mormon with a current temple recommendation. The applicant must be one of the following: a licensed speech-language pathologist, a licensed audiologist, or a student currently enrolled in a graduate program for speech-language pathology or audiology.
The second award is open to all female applicants who are registered Republicans and who are card-carrying members of at least one other conservative organization (example: the National Rifle Association, a right-to-life group, etc.).

| ASHA headquarter's Beltway mentality: liberal, insular, exclusive, insane |
According to a former staffer at ASHA headquarters (which is smack in the middle of one of the most liberal, wealthiest, and out-of-touch areas in the country: the D.C. Beltway), "They (i.e., those who work at ASHA headquarters) are all liberals." You are more likely to come face-to-face with a wooly mammoth at ASHA headquarters than someone whose worldview resembles that of middle America. According to Gallup, conservatives outnumber liberals in the USA by 2:1. But at out-of-touch ASHA headquarters, those wacky liberals not only outnumber conservatives 99:1, they run ASHA as if they think their views are the only ones worth considering. And ASHA's by-laws are now rigged to make certain that a conservative never gets on the board of directors.

Stay tuned for more details and information on how to apply.
